At the end of the ceremony, I had returned to my bedroom with Sir Léon. He was standing on the balcony and I was sitting on the bed. "I think… you grew a liking for her " I said, "Will your highness ever stop teasing me?" He said. "Come sit on the bed," I invited him.
I then laid the parchment I was reading on the bed drawer. He approached me, then, smiling, he sat down next to me. I uncovered my body and pushed him down to the bed. "Evelyne, if you are planning on giving me away. Why keep up this game?" he asked.
I put my hand on his chest, and I lay my head down on his stomach, "I just want to cuddle a bit more before letting you off. I made you my number one, but soon I will have to be your number two." I sat up again, "Do you want me to grant the marriage? It could be like a political marriage."
I looked down at him, who was now propped on an elbow, facing me, "A young lady like her is of soft manners. Your highness really holds me dearly." he smiled, though I could draw no joy in his eyes, "I wish the best for you, that's all."
He pulled me by the waist, making me fall on his rising chest, then pulled me into a hug. We were so close that I could hear him breathing and his heartbeat. He kissed my neck, inhaling my scent, and asked, "You are wearing the perfume I gave you?" "I wear it every day," I replied.
His hands found their way to my lower back, then he gently untied my corset, every pull a second as he locked eyes with me. "You should relax, you feel tense, your highness. You can be yourself around me. I crave the day when I will see you carefree." He then continued kissing and sucking softly on my neck, and at one point, he almost made me escape a moan. My grip on the back of his shirt tightened.
He stopped, then licked my neck, then he said "Your… hm… your flavor, your highness." My corset was finally loosen under his hold. "Could always drive me crazy," he continued. I could foresee where this was heading as his words added on. "Léon, we should stop here." my suggestion felt inexistent to his ears. He trailed kisses up my throat all the way to my mouth. He pulled the corset away and all that was left of me was the soft garment that covered nothing of my skin.
